Message: <blockquote data-quote="Runestar" data-source="post: 4812873" data-attributes="member: 72317">It is typically much easier to abuse wraithstrike than truestrike. Wraithstrike is a swift-action spell and lasts for the whole round, meaning a gish could cast it and still make a full-attack. Alternatively, if the fighter could somehow access persistent wraithstrike (say via a ring of spell storing, or if your party has an incantatrix...).Then the DM points out how dragons too benefit a great deal from said spell, and the players agree to swear off its use forever. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />True-strike takes a standard action to cast, so you normally cannot attack in the same round you cast it (unless you quicken it, in which case it becomes a 5th lv spell, much more costly than wraithstrike). Plus, that is 1 round wasted which could have been spent attacking. It only benefits 1 attack, so the effect is more limited (the only use I have seen thus far are high lv wizards using quickened true-strikes as added insurance when lobbing orb spells against high touch-AC foes).I dunno - I kinda like mass aid and think it confers a fair benefit for its level. Reminds me of my ghaele PC who would go around aiding everyone prior to combat. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
